304 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 



Lagopus albus, Gm. In the northern parts of the Government 

 of Perm it is very common, according to Hoffmann, and occurs as 

 far north as 70° N. lat. It is very abundant in the plains of the 

 Shadrinsk and Ekaterinburg districts, but is scarce in the Central 

 Ural. Euss., Kourojmtka; Bashk. and Mesch., Aguna; Ziridn, 

 Baycleh. 



Lagopus alpimis, Nills. I met with it in the Pavdinsky Ural, 

 where it is tolerably common. Southwards it occurs only locally, 

 and it occurs in the Kaslinsky and Uffa Ural, though only occasion- 

 ally. Hoffmann met with it in 61°-62° N. lat. According to 

 Nordmann, it is common in Lapland (op. cit.) 



Tetrao urogallus, L, Inhabits all the conifer forests of the 

 Government of Perm, especially its northern parts. Euss., male, 

 Ghhar, female, Kopolutcha ; Bashk., male, Suer, female, Bos-suer; 

 Zirian, female, Kou-dosmer, male, Chudxhey. 



Tetrao urogalloides, Midd. {T. medius). Occurs throughout 

 the Perm Government in the same localities as T. urogallus, but 

 is much scarcer. I observed it oftenest in the Kaslinsky Ural. 

 Taking this as a hybrid, it is easily explained, as a great number 

 of the male T. urogallus are killed in spring, and therefore there 

 exists a great predominance of females. Euss., Maley-gluhar or 

 Dlenney-gluhar ; Zirian in Ijma, Koytoutik. A native of Ijma 

 assured me that in every hundred T. urogallus that are killed there 

 they find up to five small specimens. According to Mejakoff, 

 T. medius occurs in the south-east parts of the Government of 

 Vologda (op. cit, p. 632). 



Tetrao tetrix, L. Inhabits the whole Province, and is very 

 numerous in the birch woods of the south-east slope of the Ural. 

 Euss., male, Teterev; Cosach, or Poliash, female, Eiahushka; Bashk., 

 Zou; Zirian, male, Tar, female, Ken-tar. 



Tetrao bonasia, L. Its distribution is similar to that of T. 

 urogallus. Euss., Borovay-raibchick or Eaibchick; Zirian, Sela. 



Starna cinerea, Briss. Occurs in the cultivated districts of the 

 southern parts of the Ural slopes, but does not occur in the 

 mountains themselves. Lately it has several times occurred at 

 Tagila. According to Teplouhoff, it occasionally breeds on the 

 Obva (58J° N. lat.) It is commonest in the Kamishlolf, Shadrinsk, 

 and the western parts of the Krasnouffa and Ossinsk districts. 

 Euss., Polevay, Polskay, or Ovuniay-raibchick, Golenashka ; in Tagila, 

 Slobodskay-riaback; Bashk., Bejir; in Perm, Kouropatka.
